Autopsies in Magarikari of the Municipality of Phaistos, but also in dips in Heraklionwhere they are observed cracking And landslide phenomena, OASP President Efthimi Lekka, who spoke of a “difficult situation”.
The Magaric – Village of 150 inhabitants in Heraklion – faces very serious problems, as the Efthymi – Because there are cracks in both houses and roads.
The cracks, according to the testimonies of ERTnews, have been in the testimonies of at least 1968 and since then some very sparse efforts have been made to remedy the problem, which has not been achieved.
The problem is that the first geological layer beneath the surface of the ground is the well -known margins of Heraklion, that is, a loose background and the next soil layer is clayless, that is, impenetrable in water.
This means that The rainwater inflates the first layer, but do not pass to the second level and thus have to find escape to the ground. This means houses cut on two and open roads.
40 years ago, in 1985, a drainage project began, which would solve the problem of the area, but it became a working accident and everything stopped.
Four decades have passed, only 400 meters left to complete the project and to be able to stay in place, but it loses at least 15% each year on its territory.
To Magaric The picture is much clearer in relation to the dives, where the conditions that create the problem are more complicated.
As Mr Lekkas said: “Moving to the village takes place at a depth of 10 – 11 meters. They are relaxed formations and side rings (ed. Formation of eroded rocks) on top and then, it is an impenetrable rock that the water cannot pass, so this surface, that is, at 10 – 11 meters, is moved at a rapid rate.
This movement throughout the village, which is of course different – elsewhere larger and smaller – also affects the structures that have been founded. “
